She just tells her business manager which one she wants when it's new car time. She traded an SL600 when the lease expired.

Don't get me wrong, I feel more at home with the working stiffs over here but there's a whole 'nother world out there in terms of disposable income.

How can you buy a car and not know how much it cost?

Rich folks have never made any sense to me. It's like money means nothing to them...

I've compared those $10 chinese calipers to my $110 set of Mitutoyos... Many times they read well within a normal person's repeatability when using digital calipers. The worst ones I've had are no more few thousandths of an inch off.

He is measuring the clutch life. I think the cheap calipers are OK for that.
